There’s undoubtedly tension between many human rights groups and veganism. It seems there’s a fear amongst human rights advocates that veganism is competition. Veganism is sometimes believed to encourage placing animal rights above human rights or dismissed because of the ideology of select vegans. This is evident when we look at the most common criticisms of veganism. I’ve written before about the infamous criticism that vegans don’t care about the workers who pick their produce and how the notion itself is ridiculous in implying that one can not care about both workers rights and animal rights, as if the two don’t actually go hand in hand.
